Graduate Certificate in Social Change & Development
(CAPSTRANS)
CAPSTRANS
is a joint initiative of the Universities of Wollongong and
Newcastle. It is a Key Centre of Research and Teaching funded
by the Australian Research Council, the two universities and
by partners in business and government.
This Graduate Certificate (24 credit point by coursework) is designed
to provide students with the knowledge and skills to understand the processes
of social change and development, and to improve their problem solving
skills and effectiveness as administrators, researchers, development planners,
educators, or managers. The course combines theoretical perspectives with
empirical studies and policy-oriented perspectives.
The post graduate teaching program complements the Centre's research
programs so that all courses are informed by the most recent high quality
research. Students are offered the opportunity to study in a research
and teaching centre with extensive international networks staffed by some
of the best scholars in their respective fields.
On-campus study is possible at the University of Wollongong or University
of Newcastle, while flexible delivery modes and delivery at Asia partner
Universities are currently being developed.
Entry to the Degree
Students normally have a Bachelor's degree with a minor sequence
in the area studied.
